Tottenham have had a mixed start to the new Premier League season but have every right to be excited for the rest of it. Here are three things that Spurs have taught us this term so far.








Tottenham have had a mixed start to the new Premier League season but have every right to be excited for the rest of it. Here are three things that Spurs have taught us this term so far.
Arsenal vs Manchester United: a game that draws crowds from all over the world, with viewers completely engrossed in the rivalry between the two clubs. The intense history between them generates an audience based on that alone.
Wingers are the players we all turn to for excitement. They should be able to do the impossible at any time and these five have shown that over the years.
With Chelsea Football Club's own version of God returning to Stamford Bridge over the summer, big things were expected. Jose Mourinho was back and was expected to bring in a raft of signings to turn Chelsea from Europa League winners to champions of England once more.
With England’s qualification for Brazil complete and Daniel Sturridge in the form of his life, could the perfect strike partner already be within Roy Hodgson's squad?
This weekend we have Premier League football returning after what was a lengthy break to determine who had booked their ticket to next year's World Cup in Brazil. Unfortunately, though, those who finished second in their groups have to participate in play-offs next month to earn a trip to Rio. I know, I know.
Maybe Roy Hodgson should take a squad of debutantes to Rio next year, as it appears that players making their first appearance for England are always the star performers.
Sometimes in football, matches end with a scoreline that absolutely nobody saw coming. Unfortunately for supporters of Tottenham Hotspur, yesterday was just one of those days.
It is hard enough to get going in the Premier League without someone paying millions of pounds to acquire your services. Such fees automatically raise expectations, and there have been many examples of players who have found it hard to shake off the pressure that a huge price tag can bring. This is especially true of strikers, who are judged primarily on how many times they find the net.
Here is a short preview of all 7 fixtures to be played this Saturday from the Premiership.
This weekend's standout fixture is the meeting of two former colleagues as Jose Mourinho's Chelsea jump across town to north London to pay a visit to his former protege Andre Villas-Boas as they take on a Bale-less Tottenham Hotspur.
We have already had a north London derby this year where Tottenham's very expensive team were beaten by a wonderful moment of skill by Arsenal's Olivier Giroud and this weekend expect some more drama when the two Manchester clubs come head to head.
The longest running transfer saga this summer ended on transfer deadline day, and with it came the most obvious move in football. Gareth Bale had joined Real Madrid.
At 34 years old Craig Bellamy still possesses a turn of speed that would frighten any defender across the world, but yesterday the former Welsh captain has hinted at international retirement.
It is interesting to note that when Chris Waddle moved from Tottenham to Marseille it was for a fee of £4.3m, making it the third highest fee paid for a player ever in 1989. 24 years later and Gareth Bale has been sold to Real Madrid for £85.6m. Bonkers.
